Looking forward to seeing all your views on the new episodes. Will wait and see what you think before I watch them.

I've found most of them a bit boring lately. I find they tend to focus on the same topics, WW1 and WW2, which while interesting in it's own way - I feel like they've done so many times.

These days I tend to prefer the ones where someone has roots abroad as they tend to cover something I'm not already aware of.
;D Doing my best, but frequently wrong ;D
:-* My thanks to everyone who helps me, you are all marvellous :-*

Just read on FindMyPast that this series is only four episodes, because filming was interrupted by.....yep, the virus.  :(

Any idea of when they'll be aired on TV so I can record them?

Just had an email from The Genelogist
The WDYTYA episode going out on Monday on BBC1 features Doctor Who and Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker who uncovers some fascinating characters in her family tree. Click here to read the article (warning: contains spoilers!).
I haven't put the link in, but couldn't resist reading it!

I am looking forward to watching for the same reasons.

I was just thinking - does anyone ever research the family history of the celebrities before the episode is aired to see what they can find - then watch the episode  ;D
